The Holy Bible

2037 Matthew 11

Not Peace, but a Sword

¶ Think not that I am come to send peace on earth : I came not to

send peace, but a sword.

For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the

daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her

mother-in-law.

And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.

He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me :

and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of

me.

And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not

worthy of me.

He that findeth his life shall lose it : and he that loseth his life for

my sake shall find it.

Rewards

¶ He that receiveth you receiveth me ; and he that receiveth me

receiveth him that sent me.

He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a

prophet’s reward ; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the

name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.

And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a

cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto

you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

The Messengers from John the Baptist

And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding

his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in

their cities.
